Gaze into the crystal ball, life or death decision

(actually it’s soapies showing on the television)

Read the tea-leaves in the cup, sort out someone’s mess

(don’t base all your choices on what’s written in the press)

Hear the voices in your head, from beyond the grave

(local DJ sermonizing, on the FM wave)

Turn the cards and the see the world that no-one has seen

(what if you mistake a joker for a king or queen?)

Throw the bones upon the sand, hear the future’s call

(somebody had lamb chops, and couldn’t eat them all)

Contemplate the zodiac, each birth date is unique

(shit! I was adopted and we even guessed the week!)

Drop into a trance and talk to those who’ve gone ahead

(go to sleep and dream of things you wish that you had said)

Read the hand and see the untold, do you really dare?

(check the palm each day and thank God for the lack of hair)

“Taurus rising thru the cusp – curb regret and pity”

(I just got my period, I’m feeling fairly shitty)

Search the heavens, read the moon, try to get a sign

(lying helpless on my back from necking too much wine)

Lucky number – Seven! – wear this charm around your throat

(rabbit’s foot or horseshoe or whatever floats your boat)

“Who can tell what lies ahead? We learn from what is gone”

(the future can’t be any worse than what’s past, Bring it on!
